May 12th, 2021 is officially the day that the Republican party, as we once knew it died.
And yes, I am referring to the fact that Republicans opted to vote. Liz Cheney out of her leadership
position. Not that I wanted Liz Cheney to be in a leadership position. Not that I think
Liz Cheney is a hero or any kind of even decent human being, but what they did on May 12th,
wasn't just voting out Liz Cheney. What they did was they sent a message to the entire
country that we have decided who we are and where the mega party, even though Trump lost
us the house in 2018 and lost us the Senate in 2020, he couldn't win the popular vote
in 2016 or in 2020. And also by the way, another little string nugget here, Republicans lost
ground in every single special election that took place in this country while Trump was
president. That doesn't mean they lost every special election that lost most of them. Um,
but they lost ground in every single special election. So across the board, everything
Trump, Trump touched became a political loser for the Republican party. But on May 12th,
they stood up and said, we're with the loser. That is who we are. If you are not with the
loser, you got to go.
And this has created a rift within the party. That is not healable. It has created a Fisher
so deep that the Republican party I do not believe is going to bounce back from that.
This is it May 12th was the end. We thought we knew of the Republican party is gone done,
and I'm glad good because now Republicans have a choice and we're seeing that choice
play out right with the, uh, more than 100 former Republican officials saying, if you
don't stop with the, we love Trump crap, we're going to form our own party. Wonderful, wonderful,
because that means that neither group, the traditional Republicans and the new mega Republicans,
neither of you are going to have the votes to be able to, uh, win elections. So I'm all
for it. I'm all for whatever the split is. You know, if you want to separate into two
parties for short people and tall people, I'm okay with that, too.
Whatever you choose to do is fine split because your holding the country back, I don't care
whether it's the traditional Republicans who understand that Biden won, and aren't afraid
to say it, or if it's the mag of folks living in their alternate reality, both groups of
these people working together or separately are obstructing progress here in the United
States. So let them let, let the parties die, let them split, let them split and then let
them split. Again. I don't care. The Republican party has outlived its usefulness here in
the United States. At one point it was a good party, but unfortunately you got to travel
back like one, 170 years almost before you get to the point where they were a good party.
And besides let's not act like political parties haven't come and gone throughout America's
history. We have seen major political parties get swept into the Ash bin of history, the
Federalists, the wigs, the democratic Republicans, the bull moose party, all of those parties,
by the way, had people serving as president of the United States.
So it's not like they were fringe, little bitty parties. These were massive political
parties. Maybe not the infrastructure of them like with the bull moose, but you still got
a president. And then they all still disappeared. Maybe it's time for the entire Republican
party to do that too. Maybe they can split. Maybe there'll be a sensible version of it
that actually works for progress. I doubt it. But the other thing too is, you know what?
While the Republicans are spreading, uh, splitting and giving the Democrats all this power, what
if the democratic party also were to split?
I don't know. Then suddenly we have four major parties. Sound sounds a little more representative.
Doesn't it. If the Republican split, I think this is a good time for other third party,
smaller parties to emerge and, and, and, and, and finally spread the power out in this country.
That's why this split is such a good thing. It's not just because I despise the Republican
party. That's a big part of it, but it's because splitting the parties is good, but you can't
split one without splitting the other, because then the other grabs all the power. So if
this one splits, this one has to split, this country actually needs those things to happen.
That is what I hope, continues to happen. But all I see right now is that this rift,
the fissure within the Republican party, that's not fixable. And as I said, the Republican
party, as we knew it officially died. Time
of death, May 12th, 2021.
